Visas: Overseas Students
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what internal assessment was undertaken of the impact of changes to the Basic Compliance Assessment for international student visas on student recruitment cycles in UK universities.
Answered by Mike Tapp
An illustrative assessment of the potential impact of the changes to the Basic Compliance Assessment (BCA) was published alongside the Immigration White Paper and can be found at Restoring control over the immigration system: technical annex (accessible) - GOV.UK. This provides an estimate of the number of Higher Education Institutions that could be affected and offers illustrative analysis of its impact on migration inflows. The impact of these changes will be kept under continuous review.
